With SolidWorks, selecting an edge zoomed in as tight as possible was an adventure. The zooming and panning are slightly more jittery than in Inventor, but no clipping or flicker occur. So, zooming in as close as possible, I found that the edges of the geometry can still be easily selected, but the selection area is larger on each side of the edge. With MoI, if you zoom in too tight, you pass through the model. Overall, the graphics don’t flicker and there is no visible clipping of the geometry. The rotation at this level remains smooth, but panning the model is not possible. With Inventor, I was able to zoom in to the maximum extent and still pick the edge of the solid. In each, I tested the ability to zoom in tight and select the edge of a solid. Below you’ll see 3 screenshots of 3 different programs: Autodesk Inventor 2011, MoI3D and SolidWorks 2010. This is one test I’ll share, because I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone mentions it and the assumptions can be misleading, especially if you only use one 3D modeling program.
For RealView support with SolidWorks 2010 SP04 and earlier, sw2010Quadro.msi must be installed.” It’s a quick installation and then you’re all set to toggle RealView mode in SolidWorks. For SolidWorks 2010, you’ll get the message “Requires SolidWorks 2010 SP01 or later.
#Quadro 2000 drivers#
If you look up SolidWorks Graphics Card Drivers compatibility for the Quadro 2000, the drivers are supported for SolidWorks 2011. You can get any of the latest NVIDIA drivers here.
#Quadro 2000 update#
If not, as in my case with the evaluation unit I received, you’ll have to download the Quadro 2000 driver and in many cases you’ll need to update to the driver your software supports. Most likely you’ll receive the GPU driver software with the card. You can drag and drop your monitors from one side to the other in the Windows, Display, Screen Resolution settings. However, it’s not through the Nvidia control panel. *Update* – Shadley comments below that it is possible to switch monitors around. Switching cords didn’t work, so I ended up physically moving the monitors around. As simple as it seems, it downright difficult to set my monitor on the left to be the main display. I’ve never really been satisfied with the options on the NVIDIA Control Panel for this. The most frustrating event in my whole time using the Quadro 2000 was getting the monitors set-up for dual screen mode. If you are having problems getting two monitors running, try using a different cable before tossing out a $400 GPU.
There has been some reports of problem, that I’ve experienced as well, with some cords working and others not. If you have an older GPU and two monitors, you’ll need at least one DisplayPort cable. The Quadro 2000 has the same set-up video ports as the FX 1800 (two DisplayPort connections and one DVI-I connection), so no new cables or adapters are needed if you’re upgrading. However, there are times where you will notice what this graphics card is doing and what it’s capable of. Hidden away, quietly buzzing and serving up a smooth display throughout your day. For the most part, that’s the case with the Quadro 2000. Perhaps the best quality of a piece of hardware installed inside a chunky computer case is not knowing it’s even there. What I want to tell you is how it work and what you’ll notice if you decide to use an NVIDIA GPU and in particular, the Quadro 2000. You can see some of those details down below. You can look up all sorts of specs for the Quadro 2000, read all sorts of reviews and get someones opinion about cores and clock speeds. I’m going to cut to the chase on this review. ( Quadro 2000 at Buy.com) Quadro 2000 Review: Bottom line You’ll find the price for a Quadro 2000 currently in the $350-$450 (USD) with Buy.com being one of the cheapest, reputable places to purchase it. You get a slight increase of the memory bandwidth over the FX 1800, but the biggest gain is with the increase to 1GB of memory over the 768MB with the FX 1800. The maximum resolution is a healthy 2560×1600 and the NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to customize and adjust global 3D settings and program specific 3D settings. It has two DisplayPort and one Dual Link DVI-I connection and supports up to two monitors.
#Quadro 2000 install#
The size is reduced from previous cards, making it easier to install without tearing power lines out of your motherboard. The Quadro 2000, released October 2010, is NVIDIA’s newest mid-range release of their Fermi-based cards.
